If it were a source file, you could do:

include __DIR__ . '/pictures/src.php';

But because you're dealing with a binary file (raw data, ones and zeros) you may want to use the image library:

$resource = imagecreatefromjpeg( string $filename );

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefromjpeg.php

Or, if you just want the bytes, use:

$contents = file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/pictures/src.php');

The best practice for this is to define a ABSOLUTE_PATH constant that contains the directory that everything is located under. After that, you can simply copy and paste everything, because it is defining the 'full' path, which doesn't change from directory to directory.

E.g

define("ABS_PATH", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

or

define("ABS_PATH", dirname(__FILE__)); // This defines the path as the directory the file is in. Then at any point you can simply do this to include a file

include(ABS_PATH . "/path/to/file");

All you need to do is include it like this:

<?php
  include('pictures/face.jpg');
?>

But why are you trying to include an image? This should be done through HTML.

It should be just as easy as 

<?php
include('pictures/face.jpg');
?>
